Report on corporate governance

To the Company’s knowledge and on the date of preparation of this report, there is no arrangement or agreement entered into with the main shareholders, customers, suppliers or others under which any of the following persons who are members of an administrative, management or supervisory body has been selected as a member of an administrative, management or supervisory body or as a member of the general management, apart from the non-concerted shareholders’ agreement relating to the Company for an initial period of ten years entered into between Altarea and SCOR SE under the terms of which: • Altarea may propose the appointment of a director to the Company’s Board of directors providing it holds at least 15% of its share capital (this threshold may be reduced to 12% under certain conditions), it being further specified that this member has no contractual veto rights and sits on the Board’s Investment Committee; • SCOR SE may propose the appointment of three directors, including the Chairman of the Board of directors (each of Altarea and SCOR SE undertaking to vote in favour of the candidate proposed by the other party). To the Company’s knowledge and on the date of preparation of this report, there are no restrictions accepted by the members of an administrative, management or supervisory body concerning the sale, within a certain period of time, of the securities of the issuer they hold, with the exception of the obligation described in Section 1.2 above (registered shares held by directors and executive corporate officers not related to the majority shareholder, of a minimum number of shares representing a value of €1,000 throughout their term of office) and the inalienable commitment by Altarea for a period of 18 months until 16 May 2024 inclusive, covering its entire stake included in the non-concerted shareholders’ agreement between Altarea and SCOR SE. Lastly, given that the functions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of directors are separate, and given that the Company took care to set out rules in the Board’s internal regulations to prevent conflicts of interest, the Board found it unnecessary to appoint a lead director to handle conflicts of interest.
